...assigned to Ed Muskie, staked out the Senator's home in Bethesda, Md., on Friday morning, then later in the day was the only reporter on the plane when Muskie flew to Maine to discuss the matter with his wife. When reporters rushed to Hyannis Port after Sargent Shriver finally became the choice, they found TIME'S Kay Huff had been dispatched there well ahead of the pack. Because of this sustained contact, TIME'S correspondents won from the solicited candidates unique and intimate candor about the personal and practical factors that went into their decisions...
